Has anyone tried Minox BD 44 porros?

 

Thanks

They are quite different towards other porros - very compact and with a nice design. They fit perfectly in your hands and the optics are great. You get a lot for your money - compare them to Steiner porros.

The MINOX are waterproof and are the only one with total internal focussing - no moving eyepieces anymore.

 

I bought the BD 8x44 BP and would do it again.

Thank You.

 

There are not a lot of new high quality porros out there, and I've been wondering about these.  Which Steiner model do they compare to?

Dear Ilya,

It would be hard to make a direct comparison to other brands - Minox Porro binoculars are quite unique for that matter.  You can read more about Minox BD 8x44 BP or BD 10x44 BP Minox Porro binoculars as well as our other products by visiting www.minox.com, selecting "American / British" banner on the right side of the front page - this will take you to the English version of the Minox home page.

Good Luck in your search for the perfect glass!
